Active membership in the APS is open to all health care professionals engaged in pain research or in the diagnosis and management of pain syndromes.
Membership of the Australian Pain Society is governed by clause 6 of the APS constitution (amended 19 March 2025) and its supporting By-Laws and Committee Charters.
